+The macOS backend uses a C shim (`macos_shim.c`) for IOKit exclusive access.
+The shim handles:
+1. `shim_open_exclusive(bsd_name)` — unmounts the target device via `diskutil`,
+   then walks the IOKit registry to find the `IOBDServices` matching the
+   requested BSD name (IOBDServices → IOBDBlockStorageDriver → IOMedia → "BSD Name"),
+   then creates MMCDeviceInterface → SCSITaskDeviceInterface → ObtainExclusiveAccess.
+2. `shim_list_drives()` — registry-based enumeration with zero SCSI, zero exclusive
+   access, zero unmounts. Reads IOBDServices "Device Characteristics" for
+   vendor/model/firmware and child IOMedia "BSD Name" for the device path.
+3. `shim_execute()` / `shim_close()` — raw CDB dispatch and cleanup.

 On non-zero SCSI status, the transport parses sense key from the sense buffer
 and returns `Error::ScsiError`.
